Description

World War I Propaganda (U.S. Navy, 1917). Recruitment Poster
(40.5" X 59") "Over There," Albert Sterner Artwork.
Albert Sterner, an important illustrator and painter, provided this
patriotic recruiting poster for the US Navy. Sterner's image of a
proud sailor looking off into the distance at American victory
probably got its inspiration from George M. Cohan's huge hit song,
Over There, which become the American anthem for victory in
Europe. This is a stunning graphic and one that doesn't fail to
grab the viewer's attention due to its large format. Touchup has
been applied to edge wear with small tears, a minor lower left
corner chip, and a tear from the bottom border into the artwork.
Very Fine- on Linen.
